@ target

your 1st post in my journal ...wow ! im soo happy ... welcome dear nod

well im doing FA from now itself. Actually for any topic what i do is, go through FA quickly, get an idea of what is HY, then read lippincott ( for biochecm, which im doing now) , solve qs at the end of chapter, and then wrap up with kaplan. so im doing few qs ...but i like your idea of doing qbook at this stage n subscribing qbank later ....thanx smiling face

@stud

your are most welcome dear. As target rightly said step prep is challenging ... and few words of encouragement, lil bit of support and friends telling you that they believe in you ....it makes a lot of difference......lets keep supporting each other ...lets do this together nod

as for my prep....lot of other than usmle things are keeping me occupied sad....and so biochem is taking like forever shaking head. i will be sorted soon and hoping to get leave for 15-20 days. then will get in fast lane guys. oh ! and i really like your 4 hour reporting plan .... would definitely like to join the club if invitiation is extended to me ie offcourse once i get leave smiling face

okay soo first things first .... lemme get done with biochem and ''non-usmle'' stuff ...

goodluck to all of us nod

Ofcourse you are invited gauri.........but you have start reporting 4 hrs even if you are not yet in the fast lane. It might appeare meagre and even depressing at first (I did it when I was working too - now i have taken off) but the thing is it gets you to remind yourself that you got to get back to your books........and 4 hours has already slipped by!

SO WELCOME AND START REPORTING in your journal or studs or mine! And I would love you have you at teh First aid 5 a day club thread too!

Goodmorning Journal

missed u big time ...while i was away on my trip .

Soo now im back physicaly and mentally ....and all set to study HARD and offcourse smart .

soo no more vague plans, they tend to go on forever ... need to plan subjects so that i dont study unrelated chunks ...but relevant subjects/ topics together.

so today i begin 1st phase of my organized prep.

in this i will cover all theory along with Qs at the back of chapter/topic. will include FA & / or Kap MedEssentials too .

" buildings blocks are foundation of life'' , so i'll start with mol bio first..

its 11.20 am now, will be back with report in few hours.

I WILL DO IT RIGHT NOW, STICK TO PLAN AND WILL MAKE THEM WORK. GL to me nod
